But recently in my post about Austerity Measures, I spoke about using JBL (Johnson’s Baby Lotion) as a facial cleanser, letting it soak in while I brush my teeth, then rinsing with water. Provided I haven’t used any Kabuki makeup, it works GREAT. Again, safe enough for a baby’s ass must be good enough for my face.

Additionally, I have found another little secret – Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter. Wow. I had recently started using NeoStrata AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) which can be very drying as they deeply exfoliate over time.

So, my skin was looking dry and while I could see the AHAs working to smoothen and lighten the skin, I was concerned that it wasn’t looking good in the short term.

Hunting around the house, I contemplated the labels of several items – and came upon some of my son’s Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter. I had heard of a recent supermarket stampede to get the stuff for just this reason.

Ingredients on label:

Olive Oil, Hydrogenated Olive Oil, Vanillin, Chamomile Oil

Hmmm…. I slapped some on as a trial, after washing of course with JBL.

In the morning I was surprised that my face did indeed look as smooth as a baby’s ass. What I do now is use the AHA daytime cream during the day when I am out and about. I use the stronger AHA all day when I am hanging around IN the house. And Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter every night.
